The Clint Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Bischoff claims that Hogan was good friends with Nailz, yet his whole run in WWF took place while Hogan was gone. You couldn't imagine seeing Hogan and Nailz having a beer together.
WyattSheepMask Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Nailz was in the AWA for a good chunk of the 80s (started in 1982) before he went to the fed, he could have met Hogan there
Otto Dem Wanz Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Fucking hell lads, I've just found something. On Spotify there's an album called Wrestling Anthems and it has loads of famous wrestling theme songs, but rather than be a compliation of tunes as they were originally recorded and made famous, they're done 'in the style of' them. You know, like the blag CD's you'd buy from Butlins with the hits of the summer as sung by the camp staff. We've got a junkie version of Metalingus, gay Voices, autotuned S.O.S and what sounds like a 16-bit version of The Time is Now (which goes "brrrrrrrrrrrabadoo" instead of the far more correct "grrrrrrrrabanooo"). I have literally nothing to say about their attempt at Sexy Boy, except I can see it being Dolph Ziggler's new theme as soon as he discovers it. Linky: https://open.spotify.com/album/2ow0RMzTGGWM6eq78IFAUI Please find this as funny as I did.
Members SuperBacon Posted June 2, 2016 Members Posted June 2, 2016 grrrrrrrrabanooo!!!! Fucking LOLZZZZ at that. Don't know why but can't stop laughing at that. Oh and that playlist is...mental
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted June 3, 2016 Paid Members Posted June 3, 2016 Watching 2000 WWF. Fucking hell when Jerry Lawler gets going, he is absolutely unbearable at times.
King Pitcos Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Attitude Lawler is a million times worse than the can't be arsed old man version that we had for his last few years on Raw. He's forever screeching and squealing.
Otto Dem Wanz Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 During the Pillman XXX Files he's great though. To quote Fin Martin: "The sex-mad Jerry Lawler almost bust a gut laughing on commentary. So giddy was Lawler, he impersonated a pig".
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted June 3, 2016 Paid Members Posted June 3, 2016 PUPPIES... Fucking hell, everyone says it. Hearing Michael Cole casually saying it as general vernacular is jarring. Lawler is legit awful on the cans, from 1999 onwards he's just screaming about tits. He has his moments of good stuff but they all tend ti be story fed lines. I'm only in January, the Radicals has arrived. Also Mae Young is absolutely fucking top notch. She's brilliant.
The Gaffer Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 "Those aren't Steve Blackman's weapons, J.R.! Those are Val's tools of the trade if you know what I mean! They're loooong! And they...well...they vibrate! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted June 3, 2016 Paid Members Posted June 3, 2016 Thank god he's an incredible worker.
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted June 3, 2016 Paid Members Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Not exclusive to Lawler though. Watching it back, a lot of the attitude era characters were proper awful. The improvements Triple H made from racist try hard geek to super roided Cosby super heel was impressive. Pre 2000 DX, his knob jokes were endless. Edited June 3, 2016 by ColinBollocks
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted June 3, 2016 Paid Members Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Triple H's main event heel run from July-November is fucking shockingly bad. So cheesy and desperate. I'm amazed they stuck with it. He only got any good once the story with Vince started in December. I think working directly with Vince did wonders for him. Edited June 3, 2016 by LaGoosh
The Gaffer Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Triple H was so confusing in that time period. He must have been panicking like mad to get some shit together seeing Austin, Rock and Foley tear ahead of him but he's so uncool and you get the sense without the business he'd be the most boring fella in the office to try and talk to. It's a miracle in a way that he figured out that wearing trunks and pouring a bottle of evian over your head before a match could result in such a drastic image change. For awhile there it was a dodgy few weeks of him coming out in weird silver pants with Chyna, her still looking like the lead and the two of them doing a sort of butch Cher gimmick.
Mr.E Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Speaking of Triple H, I work with some "young" people at work, some of whom like wrestling. When I say young, i mean like 18/19 upwards, but the other day I was asked "You'll know....what does Triple H stand for?" , which then led into a giant discussion about them not knowing about his Hunter Hearst Helmsley days, and it made me feel very old. on a similar note, I once asked someone of a similar age who Steve Austin was, and they said "oh he's that guy that comes out and drinks beer", clearly not knowing who he is in terms of "one of the best of all time/former champion etc".

And yet if you ask somebody else who Steve Austin is, you could just as easily get the reply that he's The Six Million Dollar Man.
